It had been a while since I walked the Granton-Cramond trail. So it was time for a visit. I know I have said this before in a recent post but I have this need to say it again. Granton’s waterfront looks great!

This walk started at Granton Harbour and then west along the water’s edge towards Silverknowes.

Although the day started off overcast, as it progressed the sun came out and there were blue skies all around. Lucky! On this walk, I decided to change it up a little and follow part of the trail through the woods

There is something calming about being among trees and especially those that line a waterfront. Curiosity got the better of me as I climbed a steep set of stairs that seemed to beckon me.

To my delight, it led me to an elevated view of the coast.

I slowly retraced my footsteps back through the woods. This small detour gave a whole new perspective of the landscape.

It is truly a wonder that all this is part of Edinburgh. We are lucky to have such varied scenes that we can enjoy.

Breathtaking. A lovely walk. As I approached Cramond Beach, I could see clear across the water to Fife.

As always, after I completed the walk, I wondered what took me so long to return.
